Chelsea June Deed Data Reveals Thin Disclosure Rate, Limiting Market Analysis

CHELSEA -- Thirteen property transfers were recorded in Chelsea between June 6 and July 5, 2026, but only two carried disclosed consideration amounts, leaving the period's true price range and market level largely opaque from public deed data alone.

• MARKET OVERVIEW
• Thirteen deeds were recorded during the period. Of those, only two transactions carried a stated consideration: $59,689 for a unit at 12 Dudley St. and $475,300 for a property whose street address was not included in the recorded deed. A median calculated from just two data points — $267,494 — is not statistically meaningful as a market indicator and should not be read as representative of Chelsea home values during this period. The remaining 11 transfers were recorded without a disclosed sale price, which is common in deed data but limits any market-level analysis. Readers should treat this month's figures as a partial snapshot only.
• TOP SALES
• The highest disclosed consideration was $475,300, recorded June 11. The deed lists Ghazal Sokhanvar as seller and names Leader Bank NA and Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. as grantees; no street address was included in the recorded instrument. The second and only other disclosed transaction was $59,689 for Unit 12 at 12 Dudley St., recorded June 11, with David Strickland II as seller and Better Mortgage Corporation and Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. as grantees. In both cases the named buyers are mortgage-related entities rather than individual end-buyers, which is a common characteristic of certain financing instruments; no further characterization is possible from deed records alone.
• NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN
• Dudley Street accounts for three recorded transfers: the $59,689 transaction at 12 Dudley St. Unit 12; a price-not-disclosed transfer at 60 Dudley St. Unit 12, where Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. conveyed to Gail Trenary; and a second price-not-disclosed transfer at 60 Dudley St. Unit 118, where Salem Five Cents Savings Bank conveyed to Michael and Carolyn Velji. Broadway generated three same-day transfers, all June 8, with Maverick Chelsea LLC as seller at 829, 833, and 835 Broadway; no buyers were listed in the available data and no prices were disclosed, suggesting a multi-parcel disposition by the same entity. Single transfers were recorded at 190 Everett Ave., 28 Williams St. Unit 38B, 23 Admirals Way Unit 19, 38 Marlborough St., 60 Maverick St., and one address listed in the dataset as 85 Rockview St. Jamaica Plain — an address that appears to fall outside Chelsea and may reflect a filing anomaly; it is included here as recorded.
• MARKET NOTES
• Several transfers in this dataset show institutional grantors — including JPMorgan Chase Bank, Bank of America, Salem Five Cents Savings Bank, and Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. — conveying to individual buyers, a pattern consistent with bank-owned or post-foreclosure property dispositions. The three same-date Broadway transfers from a single LLC seller may represent a portfolio or bulk conveyance. One deed, for 38 Marlborough St., lists Chelsea City of as seller, conveying to Oyuky Montoya; municipal-to-private transfers can reflect tax-title or city disposition programs, though the specific basis cannot be determined from deed data. No square footage or property-type data are available in these records, so price-per-square-foot analysis and single-family/condo/multi-family breakdowns cannot be completed for this period.
